VLM2Vec-V2, a multimodal embedding framework developed by Salesforce Research and other institutions, breaks through the limitations of traditional models. Based on the Qwen2-VL architecture, this framework innovatively unifies image, video, and visual document retrieval tasks. It adds five new evaluation tasks to expand the MMEB dataset. With key technologies such as dynamic resolution and M-RoPE, it achieved an average score of 58.0 across 78 datasets, leading in performance, especially in video tasks. Although its document retrieval is slightly behind ColPali, it

In the new energy vehicle market, Xiaopeng Automotive has once again drawn attention. On July 3rd, the Xiaopeng G7 Ultra was officially launched, becoming the first intelligent vehicle equipped with the local-end "VLA+VLM" large model. This innovative technology marks an important step forward for Xiaopeng in the field of intelligent driving. The Xiaopeng G7 Ultra is equipped with the VLA (active thinking and rapid decision-making capability) large model, making the driving experience more intelligent. In daily driving, the G7 Ultra can flexibly handle various complex driving scenarios, such as in traffic.

Transforming complex documents into structured data has long been a challenging problem in computer science. Previous approaches involved cumbersome multi-model pipelines or massive, hallucination-prone, and expensive multimodal models. However, IBM and Hugging Face have recently introduced SmolDocling, a lightweight 256M parameter open-source Vision-Language Model (VLM)...

IBM has released Granite 3.2, a smaller AI model designed for efficient inference and practical applications. This release focuses on delivering strong performance with reduced computational resources.

Recently, the successful launch of the VLM-R1 project has brought new hope to this field. This project represents the successful migration of the R1 Method from the DeepSeek team into visual language models, indicating that AI's understanding of visual content will enter a whole new phase. The inspiration for VLM-R1 comes from last year's open-source R1 Method by DeepSeek, which leverages GRPO (Generative Reward Processing Optimization) reinforcement.
